The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 125
"No, send the private treasury account book first."

Eunuch Fu was extremely curious, he didn't understand why the master, who never cared about money, suddenly wanted to check the private treasury account books, but he still hurriedly asked the little eunuch to go and get it.

Although the crown prince is not in the East Palace this year, no one dares to neglect the four seasons festivals and birthdays, and presents are still presented like flowing water.In the private treasury, gold, silver, jewellery, silk and satin, and all kinds of jade and playthings have long been piled up into mountains.

Feng Ze flipped through the account books, circled a few items at the end, got up and went to the private vault.

Eunuch Fu hurriedly asked the little eunuch to find out several items according to their serial numbers, and presented them up.

Pisces bilge rose pendant, jasper rattan flower jade pendant, Chaoyang five phoenix hanging bead hairpin, gold inlaid rice beads like pearls in front of eyes, sapphire dragonfly hairpin.

Perhaps these jewels come from a place in the south of the Yangtze River, where the mountains and clear waters show skillful craftsmen, and several pieces of jewelry are more exquisite than the same.

Feng Ze picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully. Finally, he thought for a moment and chose a bead flower with gold inlaid rice beads. Thinking of its meaning, the corners of his eyes filled with tenderness.

Seeing the master put the girl's bead flower into the sleeve, Eunuch Fu was extremely curious. Could it be that the master had been in another palace for a year to cultivate and met a woman he liked.Wouldn't it be that the East Palace will have one more side concubine in the future?
As the chief eunuch, the master went to practice in another palace but left him behind. This is not a good thing. If he can't find a way to "fix his favor", the position of chief eunuch may be handed over to others at any time...

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, the remaining pieces of jewelry are really good. Why don't you put them away separately, so it will be convenient for the master to get them later."

Sure enough, Feng Ze nodded, and instructed, "Not only these types, but also young women's jewelry and brocade cloths are found separately and placed properly."

Eunuch Fu consciously guessed what his master wanted, and he was very happy, so he agreed again and again.

Gao Ren didn't know when he came in, glanced at the tray, and then looked at the huge private warehouse, full of treasures, curled his lips and rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly, "Stingy, I'll only give...one of so many good things. Hmph, thanks to her being so kind to you."

Feng Ze glanced lightly, but didn't answer.

Eunuch Fu was so frightened that he wanted to gamble Gao Ren's mouth. Although he didn't know the origin of the young master, he had served in the palace for a few months before, and he understood the rules. Now it's a whole day to come back from the other palace. Words and deeds are insignificant, but the master is not annoyed...

Gao Renxu finally realized that he was in the well-regulated palace, and impatiently pulled the braid on his head, and reported, "Your Highness, the things brought back were taken away by Eunuch Lu. I heard that Uncle Yang was in the emperor's house There…"

"Understood," Feng Ze recalled the appearance of his father before, but he didn't mind Lao Yang being a vanguard, after all, it was easier for his father to believe it from outsiders.

"Little Fuzi, there is a red golden-horned box in the luggage in the bedroom. Send it to Lingxiu Palace for the princess."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Eunuch Fu glanced at Gao Ren who was jumping up and down in the private treasury, for fear that he would break some treasure, but he hurriedly retreated after the master ordered.

In Lingxiu Palace, a group of court ladies and eunuchs knelt outside the main hall, all secretly crying in their hearts.

Her Royal Highness the Princess secretly ran to meet the prince. As slaves, how could they stop them.But the master made a mistake and the slave suffered, it was almost a matter of course and right, now the imperial concubine and nanny were only punished to kneel down instead of beating or scolding, it was really a kindness.

I just ask Her Royal Highness to be more disciplined in the future, so that they don't have to worry about it all day long.

On the high stool at the foot of the sleeping hall, a long-necked crane was slowly emitting the fragrance of blue lilies in the incense burner. The imperial concubine saw her daughter kneeling in front of her stubbornly standing her back, but refused to bow her head, and felt angry again. It hurts again.

"Why are you always disobedient, don't go to your father, don't go to see the prince. You..."

"Mother and concubine, I know how to avoid my father, but my elder brother came back from a long way, and I just want to say hello to him."

The princess's shoulders are a bit broad, perhaps because her heart is not calm at the moment, she is trembling slightly, and the imperial concubine feels even more guilty when she looks at it.But the weakness in his eyes was only for a moment, and he immediately became cold and serious.

"You have to understand that one day..."

"Your Majesty, Director Donggong Fu is asking to see you."

Halfway through the concubine's speech, she heard the loud report from the old mother outside the door, so she raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and pulled the princess up to sit beside her.

Eunuch Fu came in and knelt down to salute, and finally asked the little eunuch to carry the box in, and said with a smile, "Imperial Concubine, Your Highness, our Highness asked a servant to bring a box of gadgets to Your Highness."

The princess's face was filled with joy immediately, and she responded first, "I thought the eldest brother was coaxing me, but I didn't expect there to be a gift."

The corners of Fu Gonggong's mouth turned up when he heard it, obviously very satisfied with the princess who forgot to call herself my palace so happily.

Contempt and resentment flashed in the eyes of the imperial concubine, but she blamed the princess with a smile on her face, "You, you treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more lovingly than my own mother."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Eunuch Fu again, and said with a smile, "I will thank you, His Highness, the Crown Prince. Now that His Highness has just returned to the palace, if there is anything that needs help, feel free to ask someone to report it."

The imperial concubine is now in charge of the harem, so it is appropriate to say this, Eunuch Fu hurriedly agreed, and finally took the reward and retreated.

The noble concubine looked at the palace door that was gradually closing, her expression was a bit inexplicable, she turned her head and saw the princess took out two exquisitely carved wooden knives from the box to play with, so she raised her eyebrows, snatched them away, and picked up the white, fat and soft plush knives The doll was stuffed into her arms.

The princess opened her mouth to protest, but she didn't know what to think, and squeezed the doll unhappily.

Seeing this, the foster mother at the side hurried up to help turn things around, "This fur doll is really funny, even more novel than the rabbit that the eldest princess' mansion sent earlier."

The imperial concubine didn't respond, she got up and led the people out.The old princess who was guarding the door bowed and saluted, and when the imperial concubine walked away, she began to chase away the two nuns, "You two old sisters, go and rest for a while, the princess has me here."

The two foster nuns felt that they had served the princess by her side for several years. Seeing her like this, they were very dissatisfied.But there is no way, this old nanny wakes up, she is a dowry girl brought by the imperial concubine from her natal family, she has served the princess from birth to now after combing herself, and she never leaves other people's hands for the princess's personal affairs, always following her side , which is equivalent to half a mother.They are just jealous, and there is nothing they can do about it.

The princess fiddled with the doll in her hand listlessly, but her eyes drifted to the wooden knife and wooden sword in the box. Mammy Su sighed helplessly...

Not to mention how the palace was very lively because of the prince's return.

It's just that Li Lin has been unemployed at home since he took over the post of Patrol Envoy, and he will only go to the palace to make appointments for the five-day Great Court Meeting.Although the salary is still in hand, but this appearance is in great danger of being looked down upon by the emperor.

In the afternoon of this day, the family had lunch, the children retired from studying, and Li Lin and his wife Ma Shi chatted with the old lady.

Ma's family background is not high, but she has a strong personality and strong will. Li Lin has been away from home for so many years. She takes care of her mother-in-law, teaches her children, and supports the entire Li family.Therefore, Li Lin treats her with respect more than love.Mrs. Li never picked on her daughter-in-law even in the slightest, she was very kind.

Seeing her husband drinking tea leisurely and gossiping with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ma couldn't help being impatient.

"Master, don't you want to go to the official department? It's been a while since you left your errand, shouldn't it be time for you to continue your errand?"

Li Lin raised his hand to change a cup of hot tea for his mother, and when he was about to change it for his wife, he annoyed the impatient Ma Shi, "Master, is this concubine talking to you? Brother Wen is already 12 years old. In three years, we will have a marriage discussion, and even Jiaoniang will be eight years old..."

Brother Wen and Jiaoniang are a pair of sons and daughters of the Li family. Seeing how each year grows older, Mrs. Ma couldn't help being impatient.After all, there is no power in this place in Kyoto, let alone getting married, studying and taking scientific examinations, it is almost impossible to move an inch.

The old lady of the Li family thought of her well-behaved and sensible eldest grandson, and she rarely said, "Go and ask, I heard that Mingchun is the big exam, and you, the assistant examiner, should have an errand?"

Li Lin can't talk to his mother and wife about how deep the river is in the big exam. Now the aristocratic family, the new rich and the poor, the three parties almost snatch the heads of the people and beat them into dog heads.He didn't dare to join even if he wanted to. He was honest and upright, but he wasn't a reckless fool.

There are old and young, and he always has to consider the dangers involved...

"You don't have to worry, I have my own ideas."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma was about to stare, but in the end, an old servant of the porter came to report in a hurry.

"Old...Master! The imperial decree has arrived! The imperial decree!"

"What?" The three members of the Li family stood up in shock. Even though they were selected by the emperor as the wind patrollers, the officials had issued official documents and had never received imperial edicts.

Now it is like this, is it a blessing or a curse?
At the critical moment, Mrs. Li was still able to hold on, and directly ordered her daughter-in-law, "Open the middle door, prepare the incense table, and accept the imperial edict!"

Mrs. Ma hurriedly greeted him, and Li Lin hurried out to welcome the eunuch Xuanzhi to come in...

A quarter of an hour later, the maids and servants were busy clearing up the incense table in the yard, and they couldn't hide the joy on their faces.

The slaves depend on the master's house to survive, and the master's house is prosperous, so the slaves are naturally under the big tree to enjoy the shade.

Now that the master has received the reward, what an honor it is to see the Li family's threshold being stepped on by those who came to congratulate him.

The butler of the Li family is a fat middle-aged man named Li Qing. Le's eyebrows are about to fly at this moment, calling out the maids and servants to be busy, and their tone of voice is even more tactful than that of a singer.

In the hall, the three members of the Li family looked at the gold, silver and satin on the table and were a little dazed.

Ma Shi completely forgot that she had been urging her man to ask for an errand before, but now she was suddenly hit on the head by a huge pie, and she began to be afraid again.

"Master, you are the chief examiner for the big exam next spring, those people... well, what should we do?"

On the contrary, Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, this is Sacred Heart's arbitrary decision. Even if others are dissatisfied, they dare not vent their anger on our family. As long as they obey the emperor's words, others don't have to worry about it."

"Mother is right," Li Lin comforted his wife with a smile, "As long as I do my job faithfully, no one can make a mistake. Didn't you worry about not having enough money to buy winter clothes the day before yesterday? Now the emperor rewarded so much gold and silver, which is enough."
